The traffic lights were red when the driver reached them．To the surprise of his passenger,the ear did not slow down．Unexpectedly the passenger was thrown forward in the vehicle as the driver put on his brakes at the last moment．The car stopped just in time. "Sorry,I didn't notice the light．I thought it was green until I saw that it was the top light which was shining." This strange story is quite true．About ten men in every hundred are color blind in some way;women are luckier--only about one in two hundred suffers from color blindness. In some cases,a man may not be able to see deep red．He may think that red,orange and yellow are all the same as green. People often like one color more than others．Blue is the color of the sky and sea．Green makes us think of fields and trees．Red is the color of blood and makes some people think of danger．Black is the color of night．In the dark we cannot see what is around us so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color. Among the traffic lights,red light is placed__.
A、at the bottom
B、in the middle
C、at the top
D、below the green light
【正确答案】：C
【题目解析】：在文章中，司机提到：“I thought it was green until I saw that it was the top light which was shining.” 这句话明确指出了他之前误以为绿色灯是亮着的，直到他注意到实际上是顶部的红灯在闪烁。这直接指向了红灯在交通灯中的位置——在顶部。 A选项“at the bottom”表示在底部，这与文章中的描述不符。 B选项“in the middle”表示在中间，同样不符合文章的描述。 D选项“below the green light”表示在绿灯下方，这也不是文章所描述的位置。 因此，根据文章中的直接描述，红灯是放置在顶部的，所以正确答案是C。
